karma is fate for individuals,nations,objects and the universe--but not for God.
The practice of Karma Yoga prepares the aspirant for the reception of knowledge of the Self. It makes him a proper Adhikari (aspirant) for the study of Vedanta.
Ashtanga and Raja yoga
The practice of Karma Yoga is considered to be following the path of ritual action. Each person is considered to have a different Dharma, or law of the universe, that applies to them. Much of this is determined based on conditions you were born into, or the results from Karma accumulated from past lives. Karma yoga would be accepting the role you were born into and trying to do that role as best as you can.Many that follow this path also follow the path of devotion, or Bhakti Yoga, in which they try to adhere to the wishes of a particular divine being or god.There is often a mixture of paths when it comes to Hindu religious practice.
